GENERAL INFORMATION

Some illustrations in this manual show the
equipment with safety shields removed to provide
a better view. This equipment should never be
operated with any necessary safety shielding
removed.
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating
and maintaining your cutter. Read it carefully. It fur-
nishes information and instructions that will help you
achieve years of dependable performance. These
instructions have been compiled from extensive field
experience and engineering data. Some information
may be general in nature, due to unknown and varying
operating conditions. However, through experience
and these instructions, you should be able to develop
procedures suitable to your particular situation.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-
rent at the time of printing. However, due to possible
inline production changes, your machine may vary
slightly in detail. We reserve the right to redesign and
change the machines as may be necessary without
notification.
Throughout this manual, references are made to right
and left directions. These are determined by standing
behind the equipment, facing the direction of forward
travel. Blade rotation, viewed from the top of the cutter,
is counter-clockwise for the right crossbar, and clock-
wise for the left crossbar; the center crossbar is
counter-clockwise on the 540 rpm model and clock-
wise on the 1000 rpm model.
